2024 Awards by Technology Sector
The State of Maine has targeted seven technology sectors best suited for investment and other forms of support. These include both mature industries (like forestry and agriculture) as well as emerging ones (such as composite materials and biotechnology). In FY24, MTI invested in businesses within all seven of these targeted sectors, helping to create a more vibrant and diversified economy.
2024 Awards by Range
Because MTI invests in businesses of varying maturity, and because we individualize our approach and investment to the clients’ needs, we distribute our levels of funding across four ranges. Generally, we fund a greater number of projects at a lower level, then dedicate larger levels of investment to a smaller number of projects that will have a greater impact.
